Arrival in the U.S.

Make certain you have all the necessary documents with you (passport, I-20/DS-2019, proof of finances) and that you hold them in a secure place. Do not put your documents in checked baggage. You will be expected to present them to immigration officials upon your arrival. The immigration officer will look at your I-20/DS-2019 and stamp your passport.

You will be photographed and fingerprinted as part of a registration procedure in the US VISIT system. This whole process should not take more than a few minutes.
